The Mental Health Act corresponds to which law?

• A. R.A. 578
• B. PD 354
• C. R.A. 11036
• D. R.A. 1265

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is identifying which Philippine law establishes the framework for mental health policy and services. The Mental Health Act is Republic Act No. 11036. This law creates the national framework for mental health and psychosocial support, protects the rights of persons with mental health conditions, and promotes the integration of mental health care into the health system, including community-based services and standards of care. The other options refer to different laws or decrees that are not related to the Mental Health Act, so they do not fit the question.
